ARISE Technologies Corporation, which is a leader in high-performance, high-quality, cost-effective solar technology, today announced that the 2010 annual and special meeting of ARISE shareholders scheduled for, and convened on June 28, 2010, was adjourned due to the lack of requisite quorum.

The 2010 annual and special meeting of ARISE shareholders has been adjourned to 11:00 a.m. (EST) on July 20, 2010 and will be held at the University Club, University of Waterloo, 200 University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1.

ARISE's by-laws quorum requirement states that two or more shareholders or proxyholders holding at least 10% of the shares entitled to vote must be present at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting on July 20, 2010 those shareholders present at the meeting in person or by proxy shall constitute the requisite quorum.

The Company's proxy materials, including its notice of meeting and management information circular previously filed on www.SEDAR.com and mailed to the Company's shareholders on or about May 20, 2010 as well as the agenda for the meeting set out therein, remain unchanged.

As numerous shareholders were present at the June 28, 2010 meeting, the Company continued on with the informal portion of the meeting, including the presentation by the CEO to shareholders. This presentation is available at www.arisetech.com. Given this, the adjourned meeting will only cover the formal business required to be dealt with as set out in the proxy materials.

Proxies previously submitted in respect of the original meeting shall be voted at the adjourned meeting unless revoked. Additional proxies for the adjourned meeting will be accepted until 48 hours prior to the time of the adjourned meeting.
